The document outlines the cell phone policy at ESMS, stating that cell phones must be turned off and not used during school hours including instructional time, class changes, breakfast, and lunch. Phones may only be used before 7:10am and after 2:27pm, or during designated incentive times. Any student seen using a phone during the day will have it confiscated, with consequences ranging from a warning to detention to in-school suspension. The policy is intended to prevent distractions from learning. Students are instructed to use the classroom or office phone if needing to contact a parent.
